COCOPA INDIAN FULL BODY PAINT

Paul Campbell's research yielded rare California Indian historical pictures such as these antique turn-of-the-centry professional studio portraits of a young Indian boy with full body paint , shell and glass beaded necklaces, and two California Indian men wearing loin clothes, body paints and holding antique 1800s Indian bow and arrows. Paul Campbell's book contains a whole chapter of full-page historical pictures with detailed captions about historic Old Town San Diego County Indians.

Painted bodies, Cocopa men with long bow and long carrizo cane arrows with tufted fletch and long blunt foreshaft points. The same likely scraping or removing of paint with the fingernails found on right photograph is seen on the body of the man to the left. Very old photograph. (From collection of Anita Alvarez de Williams).
